Important safety information

General safety precautions

Keep these instructions and they should remain at the appliance when

moving away or changing owner.

This appliance is designed for domestic use only.

Specialised companies that are qualified to do so by the manufacturer

must carry out service and repairs including repairing and changing the

power cord. Accessory parts supplied by them should be used only for

repairing. Otherwise the appliance can be damaged or can cause other

damage or injury.

The appliance is out of circuit only in that case if the plug is removed

from the socket. Before cleaning and maintenance always unplug it (do

not get it by the cable). If the socket is difficult to reach, switch off the

appliance by cutting off the current.

Power cord must not be lengthened.

Make sure that the power plug is not squashed or damaged by the back

of the fridge/freezer.

- A damaged power plug may overheat and cause a fire.

Do not place heavy articles or the fridge/freezer itself on the power

cord.

- There is a risk of a short circuit and fire.

Do not remove the power cord by pulling on its lead, particularly when

the fridge/freezer is being pulled out of its niche.

- Damage to the cord may cause a short-circuit, fire and/or electric shock.

- If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a certified service

agent or qualified service personnel.

If the power plug socket is loose, do not insert the power plug.

- There is a risk of electric shock or fire.

You must not operate the appliance without the lamp cover of the interi-

or lighting.

When cleaning, defrosting, taking out frozen food or ice tray do not use

sharp, pointed or hard devices, as they can cause damage to the appliance.

Be careful not to allow liquids to leak into the temperature control and

lighting box.

Ice and ice-cream can cause frost burns if they are eaten immediately

after removal from the frozen food compartment.

After dissolving frozen food must not be refrozen, it must be used up as

soon as possible.

Store pre-packed frozen food in accordance with the frozen food manu-

facturer's instructions.

You must not make defrosting faster with any electric heating appliance

or chemicals.

Do not store flammable gas and liquid in the appliance, because they may

explode.

Do not store carbonated drinks, bottled drinks and bottled fruits in the

frozen food compartment.

Check and clean the outlet as water residue can be left from regular

defrosting. If it is clogged the gathered water residues can cause malfunc-

tions.

Precautions for child safety

Do not allow children to play with the packaging of the appliance. Plastic

foil can cause suffocation.

Adults must handle the appliance. Do not allow children to play with it or

its controlling parts.

If you are discarding the appliance pull the plug out of the socket, cut the

connection cable (as close to the appliance as you can) and remove the

door to prevent playing children to suffer electric shock or to trap them-

selves inside the product.

This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with

reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and

knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction con-

cerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the

appliance.

Safety precautions for installation

Put the appliance agaist the wall to avoid touching or catching warm parts

(compressor, condenser) to prevent possible burn.

When moving the appliance remove the plug from the socket.

When placing the appliance take care not to stand it on the power cord.

Adequate air circulation should be around the appliance, lack of this leads

to overheating. To achieve sufficient ventilation follow the instructions rel-

evant to installation.

Safety precautions for isobutane

Warning

The refrigerant of the appliance is isobutane

(R 600a) that is inflammable and explosive to a greater extent.

Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in

structure, clear of obstruction.omission

Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrost-

ing process, other than those recommended by the manufacturer.

Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.

Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartments of

the appliance, unless they are of the type recommended by the manufac-

turer.

For the safety of life and property keep the precautions of these user's

instructions as the manufacturer is not responsible for damages caused by

omission.

Installing the appliance

Transportation, unpacking

It is recommended to deliver the appliance in original packaging, in vertical

position considering the protective warning on packaging.

After each transportation the appliance must not be switched on for approx.

4 hours.

Unpack the appliance and check if there are damages on it. Report possible

damages immediately to the place where you bought it. In that case retain

packaging.

Cleaning

Remove every adhesive tape and everything else, which ensure the accessories

not to move in the appliance.

Wash the inside of the appliance using lukewarm water and mild detergent.

Use soft cloth.

After cleaning wipe out the inside of the appliance.

Placement

The ambient temperature has an effect on the energy consumption and

proper operation of the appliance.

When placing, take into consideration that it is practical to operate the

appliance between ambient temperature limits according to the climate class

that is given in the chart below and can be found in the rating plate.

If the ambient temperature goes below the lower data the temperature of the

cooling compartment can go beyond

the prescribed temperature.

If the ambient temperature goes

beyond the upper data this means

longer operating time of the com-

pressor, breakdown in the automatic

defrosting increasing temperature in

the cooling compartment or increas-

ing energy consumption.

In the bag of the accessories there

are two spacers which must be fit-

ted in the two top corners.

Slacken the screws and insert the

spacer under the screw head, then

re-tighten the screws.

When placing the appliance ensure

that it stands level.

This can be achieved by two

adjustable feet at the bottom in

front.

Do not stand the appliance in a

sunny place or close to a radiator or

cooker.

Temperature setting buttons

The temperature is adjusted using the (B) and (D) buttons. These buttons are

connected to the temperature display.

The temperature display is switched over from the display of the ACTUAL

temperature (Temperature display is illuminated) to the display of the

DESIRED temperature (Temperature display flashes) by pressing one of the

two buttons, (B) or (D).

Each time one of the two buttons is pressed again the DESIRED tempera-

ture is adjusted by 1 °C. The DESIRED temperature must be reached with-

in 24 hours.

If neither button is pressed, the temperature display automatically switches

back after a short period (approx. 5 sec.) to the display of the ACTUAL temper-

ature.

DESIRED temperature means:

The temperature that has been selected for inside the fridge. The DESIRED

temperature is indicated by flashing numbers.

ACTUAL temperature means:

The temperature display indicates the current temperature inside the fridge.

The ACTUAL temperature is indicated with illuminated numbers.

Temperature display

The temperature display can indicate several pieces of information in the

fridge (ACTUAL temperature) is displayed.

During normal operation, the temperature currently present in the fridge

(ACTUAL temperature) is displayed.

When the temperature is being adjusted a flashing display indicates the

fridge temperature currently set (DESIRED temperature).

Starting Up - Setting the Temperature

1. Plug the mains plug into the mains socket.

2. Press (A) button. The appliances start.

3. Press either the (B) or (D) button. The temperature display switches over and

the DESIRED temperature currently set flashes on the temperature display.

4. Set the required temperature by pressing the (B) or (D) buttons (see section

"Temperature setting buttons"). The temperature display will immediately

show the changed setting. Each time the button is pressed the temperature is

adjusted by 1 °C.

From a food safety point of view +5 °C should be considered sufficiently cold

for storing food in the fridge.

5. Once the required temperature has been set, after a short period (approx. 5

sec.) the temperature display will change and again indicate the current

ACTUAL temperature inside the fridge. The display will change from flashing

to continuous illumination.

Information! When the setting is changed, the compressor does not start

immediately if automatic defrosting is currently taking place. As the storage

temperature within the fridge is reached quickly you can store food immedi-

ately after switching on.

COOLMATIC

The COOLMATIC function is suited for quick cooling of large quantities of

goods in the refrigerator.

1. The COOLMATIC function is switched on by pressing the COOLMATIC button

(F).

The yellow light (E) illuminates.

The COOLMATIC function now provides for intensive cooling. A DESIRED tem-

perature of +2°C is automatically selected. The COOLMATIC function is ended

automatically after a period of 6 hours.

2. The COOLMATIC function can be ended manually at any time by pressing the

COOLMATIC button again. The yellow light goes out.

Holiday function

The holiday function sets the temperature at +15°C. This function allows you

to keep the refrigerator shut and empty during a long holiday period (e.g. the

summer holidays) without the formation of a bad smell.

1. To turn on the holiday function, press button (B).

2. Press continuously button (B) until the letter "H" (Holiday) appears on the

temperature indicator. The temperature indicator can modify the displayed

temperature up to +8°C, 1° at a tim. 8°C will be followed by the letter "H".

Now the refrigerator is in the "holiday" function in the energy-saving mode.

The fridge compartment must be empty with the holiday function on.

Important: If the fridge compartment is off, the door must be closed in order

that the freezer is working properly.

In this condition, the electronic control of the appliance functions automat-

ically and periodically circulated the air to prevent unpleasant smells and

humidity.

How to use the refrigerator

For adequate cooling developing interior air circulation is necessary. For this

reason you are asked not to cover the air circulation gaps behind the shelves

(e.g. with tray etc.).

Do not put hot food into the refrigerator. Allow it to reach room temper-

ature naturally. In this way the unnecessary frost building up can be avoid-

ed.

Foods can take over odours from each other. So it is essential to put foods

in closed dishes or wrap them in cellophane, aluminium foil, grease-proof

paper or cling film before placing them into the refrigerator. This way

foods will keep their moisture e.g. vegetables will not dry out after some

days.

Interior Accessories

Storage Shelves

Various glass storage shelves are

included with your appliance. The

height of the storage shelves can be

adjusted:

1. To do this pull the storage shelf for-

ward until it can be swivelled

upwards or downwards and

removed.

2. Please do the same in reverse to

insert the shelf at a different

height.

Air Filter

Your appliance is equipped with a

carbon filter behind a flap in the rear

wall of the air distributing box.

The filter purifies the air from

unwanted odours in the fridge com-

partment meaning that the storage

quality will be further improved.

Note: Always keep the air ventilation

flap closed.

Drawer

The drawer is suitable for storing fruit

and vegetables.

There is a separator inside the drawer

that can be placed in different posi-

tion to allow for the subdivision best

suited to personal needs.

Storing in the refrigerator

When placing foods into the refrigerator please take into consideration the

diagram below.

1 Confectionery, ready-cooked

foods, foods in

dishes, fresh meat, cold cuts,

drinks

2 Milk, dairy products, foods in

dishes

3 Fruits, vegetables, salads

4 Cheese, butter

5 Eggs

6 Yoghurt, sour cream

7 Small bottles, soft drinks

8 Big bottles, drinks

Starting Up - Setting the Temperature

1. Plug the mains plug into the mains socket.

2. Press (A) button. The alarm light (M) flashes since the temperature is reached.

The buzzer sounds.

3. Pressing button (L) the buzzer stops.

4. Press either the (I) or (K) button. The temperature display switches over and

the DESIRED temperature currently set flashes on the temperature display.

5. Set the required temperature by pressing the (I) or (K) buttons (see section

"Temperature setting buttons"). The temperature display will immediately

show the changed setting. Each time the button is pressed the temperature is

adjusted by 1 °C.

From a food safety point of view -18 °C should be considered sufficiently cold

for storing food in the freezer.

FROSTMATIC

The FROSTMATIC function accelerates the freezing of fresh food and, at the

same time, protects foodstuffs already stored from undesirable warming.

1. The FROSTMATIC function is switched on by pressing the FROSTMATIC button

(H).

The yellow light (G) illuminates.

If the FROSTMATIC function is not ended manually, the appliance will switch

off the FROSTMATIC function after about 52 hours. The yellow light goes out.

2. The FROSTMATIC function can be ended manually at any time by pressing the

FROSTMATIC button again. The yellow light goes out.

Alarm reset button

In the event of an abnormal temperature rise inside the freezer (e.g. power

cut) warning light (M) will start to flash and a buzzer will sound. Push the

alarm reset button (L) to stop the buzzer sound, while the warning light will

continue to flash.

The buzzer will stop automatically when the temperature has returned to

normal while the warning light (M) will continue to flash. If we press the

alarm reset button (L) we stop the warning light and at the same time the

indicator show for about 5 seconds the warmest temperature reached in the

compartment.

Switching the Appliance off

To switch off, hold down the (A) button.

If the appliance is not going to be used for an extended period:

1. Turn off the appliance.

2. Remove the mains plug or switch off or turn out the circuit breaker or fuse.

3. Defrost the freezer compartment and clean the appliance thoroughly (see

section: "Cleaning and Maintenance").

4. Finally, leave the doors open so as to avoid a build up of odours.

Freezing and storing frozen food

You can use your freezer for freezing fresh food yourself.

Important!

The temperature in the freezer compartment must be -18 °C or colder

before freezing food.

Please observe the freezing capacity given on the rating plate. The freez-

ing capacity is the maximum quantity of fresh food that can be frozen

within a period of 24 hours. If you wish to freeze food several days in a row,

please observe a maximum capacity of only 2/3 to 3/4 of that on the rat-

ing plate. The quality of the food is best preserved when it is frozen right

through to the core as quickly as possible.

Allow warm food to cool down before freezing. The warmth will cause

increased ice formation and increase the power consumption.

Please note the maximum storage times specified by the manufacturer.

Thawed foods which have not been processed further (cooked into meals)

may not under any circumstances be frozen a second time.

Containers with flammable gases or liquids can leak at low temperatures.

There is a risk of an explosion! Do not store any containers with flamma-

ble materials such as, for example, spray cans, fire extinguisher refill car-

tridges etc in the refrigerator/freezer.

Bottles and cans must not be placed in the freezer. They can burst when

the contents freeze, high carbonate content drinks can even explode!

Never store lemonade, juices, beer, wine, sparkling wine etc. in the freezer.

Exception: high alcohol content spirits can be stored in the freezer.

All foods must be packed air tight prior to freezing, so that they do not dry

out or lose their flavour, and so that no flavour contamination of other

frozen goods occurs.

Caution! Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your hands could freeze

to the food.

Storing in the freezer

It is practical to replace frozen products into the basket(s) after freezing has

finished. Doing this you could make room in the freezing compartment for

another freezing. Intermediate freezing does not deteriorate foods already

stored.

If large quantities of food are to be stored, remove the baskets except the low-

ermost one from appliance and place food on the cooling surface.

Do not forget to keep to the storage time given on the packaging of frozen

products if you buy them frozen. To store home-frozen products see the stor-

ing instructions placed in the door of the freezer. Symbols signify the various

foods, numbers mean maximum storing time given in months.

It is safe to store quick-frozen and frozen foods only if they have not dis-

solved even for a short time until placing them into the freezer. If the deep-

frozen food has already dissolved, refreezing is not recommended, it has to be

used up as soon as possible.

1. To achieve faster freezing of food or to freeze the maximum allowed quanti-

ty, depress the ambient switch 12 hours before loading the food without

modifying the thermostat setting.

2. Place the food to be frozen in the top drawer.

3. Do not open the door frequently or

leave it open longer than absolutely

necessary.

The freezing tray is suitable for

freezing smaller fruits (raspberries,

strawberries, currants, etc).

Fruits should be put in the tray in

thin layers without packaging. After

freezing they can be packed and

sorted out then placed into the stor-

ing compartments.
